A San Francisco WalkPhoto

A San Francisco WalkPhoto.... er Photowalk


I am about done resting up from a long weekend of walking, photography, Jazz, and Ingress. The photowalk was arranged by +Chris Chabot to welcome and meet +Dave Powell, of ShootTokyo.com, to the city for his visit from Japan.  Now most photowalks are a bit unplanned and there is never a preplanned route so you never know how far you might go.  This walk was much more a walk with some great photo opportunities than most walks I have been on.  I covered about 8 miles from 2pm until about 11pm with most of the distance being walked by dinnertime.

I plan on doing Fremont peak many times after this and there are a couple of other places I am now putting on my list that I thought I might never be able to do like Burning Man. I am so lucky to have found a way to keep up my physical therapy, and so happy it opens up opportunities to feed my addiction for photography. Thanks to Dave and Chris's winging it I had my longest photowalk ever and here is the 8 mile path we took http://goo.gl/maps/F6653.

If you have never been on a photowalk, then go on one soon even if you only have your cell phone camera. (yeah thats ok too) Anything goes and sometimes it keeps on going and going and going...
